Post Doc Opportunity - Terrestrial Biogeochemistry A postdoctoral position is available to plan, manage, and analyze a forest fertilization experiment in a lowland tropical rainforest in Costa Rica. The goal is to explore the nature of nutrient limitation in the lowland tropical forests, with an eye towards understanding their basic biogeochemistry and likely responses to anthropogenic changes in nutrient status. The successful applicant must have a strong background in biogeochemistry (both in the field and in the lab), a willingness to spend about 6months/year in Costa Rica, fluency in Spanish, and an ability to coordinate a team of technicians and undergraduates. A Ph.D. in biology, geology, or a related field is required. Funding is guaranteed for two years, and the applicant will be involved in proposal writing to supplement the experiment. To apply, please send a cover letter stating your interest in the position and experiences you feel are relevant, a curriculum vitae and the names of three references to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
